Comments Thread For: Ward Reacts to Rodriguez Public Request for VADA Tests

[BattlingNelson]

And Ward can counter gracefully by saying ; I have no problems what so ever taking OST , if any of my opponents wish to ask for extra testing during the negotiation stage I will gladly oblige . However , under these circumstance when testing is used as a publicity stunt : then Mr Rodriquez can test himself if he likes , next time ask at the appropriate time .

He can indeed do that, but he'll lose credibility in the eyes of the public particularly when you, like Ward, has kept a high profile in demands for stricter testing.

I dont think so , people in general are understanding when reasons makes sense , I dont think it would hurt Ward at all , but ... he better say yes when its put to him during a negotiation , which would probably be the very next fight .

I think he can decline this time and be ok because its a very shifty way of how it was used on him , compare this to Floyds demand of OST ; it was in the very first draft given too Team Pac .

Personally if I were Ward I would just say sure no problems at all , and laugh it off with a , if its free I want new needles. Either way defuses the situation .
